Nothing says that your proud to be an American more than celebrating the Fourth of July with a patriotic dessert so it's only fitting that a red, white and blue cake should be displayed on the table. Whether you want to keep it simple with a poke cake or show off your baking skills by making an American flag cake, your Independence day party will end with a decadent and delicious dessert.

This red, white and blue jewel cake will explode with color and flavor. Hidden cubes of gelatin are mixed with a creamy white filling so that they pop with color. It's important to make this cake in advance because it needs to chill for at least six hours before serving.
